DNAC Activation and Assurance
This is a 4-day instructor led workshop aimed at Cisco partners and customers who are/have deployed Cisco DNA Center. This class will help enable Cisco DNA Center adoption in a brownfield environment utilizing Assurance as a feature to manage and troubleshooting both a wired and wireless environment, followed by migrating to Software Defined Access for both Wired and Wireless.
This workshop will be a mix of theory (30%) and labs (70%) and is aimed at a technical audience. The DNACAA course is part of Cisco Black Belt Academy Aligned Content: Enterprise – Cisco DNA Deployment Stage 2.
The course leads you into detailed coverage of using DNA Center in a brownfield environment with Assurance its components and implementation as well as supported architectures and migration paths to SDA.
